I remember that in my philosophy class, I once said that human characteristics are divided into two attributes: natural attributes and social attributes. It has always been thought that natural attributes originate from human animality, and social attributes are the characteristics of human beings above animals, but today it seems that this is not necessarily the case! Looking at a large group of people who were still running for their lives just now, I suddenly remembered the frightened beasts running on the grassland in "The Lion King", and the important feature of social attributes, "herd mentality", seems to be inseparable from animal nature. From Keiji Maeda's "extraordinary measures", I have drawn on the characteristics of the state—the violent apparatus of class repression, and the reason why the masses obey social and public order is also largely due to another animal nature—the fear of their own safety. The group of people in front of you is a good example, crazy because of fear, and sober because of fear. If this is the case, what is the essential difference between man and other animals, except that he is smarter?

On the banks of the river were newly erected several pointed wooden stakes more than a foot high, on which were the freshly cut off heads. I'm not in favor of killing, I don't want anyone to die! But according to Maeda Keiji, since it has been killed, it must be fully utilized, which can make others not die because of it, and it is also to make those people's deaths worthwhile, which is a kind of respect for the deceased! I didn't stop him because I knew he was right and I just tried not to go to the ferry again.

By about 7 o'clock in the morning, more than 9,000 people had arrived, of which nearly 2,000 had been sent to the rear due to serious injuries, which meant that half of the Oda family's expeditionary army had returned. I explained a few words to Shimakatsu and then came to the reception station again, and saw that Yamanaka Kanosuke was still busy.

"How's your situation here?" I asked.

"There are more and more people!" He wiped the sweat from his forehead and replied. "But with the increase in the number of people who have returned, the morale of the military has basically stabilized! I sent some people around to stop the spread of rumors, and it seems to be working well. ”

"You're doing a great job!" I nodded with satisfaction, and then said, "The ones in front are just foreshadowing, you pay attention to what I say below!" You explain what is going on here, and then find a few clever guys to disperse below. Take those who arrived early, who have eaten and rested, and take them in small groups to the pond behind the woods. Let them all take a bath and enter the camp from behind. Don't pay attention, I've already explained to Sheng Meng at the camp gate! "Watching Shikanosuke take his orders and leave, I returned to the camp.

I spent the morning in the camp taking care of all the things myself. No way! There are too few people under my staff, and I can't usually see it, and when I encounter today's "big event", it seems a little stretched, so I once again moved the idea of recruiting my subordinates. I arranged every 10 soldiers sent by Shikanosuke in a tent, and let them stay in the tent after changing their clothes, and no one was allowed to go out of the tent at will except for two guards. A few shrewd and tough soldiers were selected to form a patrol to patrol the battalion, they were all professional soldiers who had been in battle for a long time, and the defeat in the war did not have much impact on their psychology. By 10 a.m., more than 13,000 people had been arranged in the camp, and more than 500 soldiers were patrolling everywhere.

During this period, it was not without problems, and more than a dozen batches of more than 50 generals at all levels were blocked by Dao Shengmeng in the name of "order". There were many generals like Sakuma Nobumori and friends like Toshiie Maeda and "Monkey", but I didn't invite them in, and I didn't even show my face. If they know the truth in the camp and immediately mess up, and worse, in front of these "big people", I will immediately have no place to speak, then all my hard work will be in vain! Fortunately, after the defeat, everyone had no bottom in their hearts, and they were more at ease when they could hear the word "order", so although some people complained, there was no big mess, but soon the "big trouble" came......

At 10:38 a.m., I heard a violent commotion outside the gate. I walked out of the tent and looked from afar, only to see Shibata Katsuya and a few people confronting Shima Katsuto, and the other generals who came first were at a loss to the side. "This 'blocking' guy is still here!" I pondered and took a few steps forward, hiding behind a tent.

"I have been ordered not to enter the camp without permission!" Shima Katsuto's voice was as calm as water.

"Bastard!" Katsu Shibata jumped like thunder. "Do you know who I am?!"

"I didn't say who could be an exception in the order I was given!" Still calm and calm.

"Then go and tell Niwa-sama that I'm here!" Shibata Katsuya tried hard to suppress the fire.

"I've been ordered not to leave my post without permission!" Shimakatsu seems to be stating a trivial matter as an unrelated third party.

"You bastard!" Shibata Katsuie's head jumped with green tendons, and he yelled, "Even Niwa Nagahide doesn't dare to talk to me like this!" ”

"I'm a direct subordinate of the Ashigaru Commander Zhuxing Tadabei-sama!" After saying this, Shima Katsu turned his head and ignored him.

"Whew!" Shibata Katsuie punched Shima Katsu, he really couldn't tolerate a sesame mung bean petty official being so light on him.

Shimakatsu flashed to the right, then took another step forward, slamming his left shoulder sideways into Shibata Katsuie's shoulder. Shibata Katsuie's center of gravity was unstable and he took two steps back, narrowly not falling, and as soon as he turned around, he grabbed Shimakatsu's neck with both hands. Shimakatsu stepped back as if he was afraid, but took advantage of Shibata Katsuie's body to cover it, raised his leg and "gently" pushed it on his lower abdomen with his knees. From beginning to end, Katsutakeshi Shima is holding the handle of the knife with one hand and the back of the other, and no one can say that he has a "hand".

"Cough, cough ......" Shibata Katsuya didn't come up in one breath, squatted there with his hands on his lower abdomen and coughed loudly. Seeing that the lord was at a loss, several retainers behind the Shibata Katsu family drew their swords and rushed over. At this time, it happened that Keiji Maeda and Kanosuke Yamanaka sent someone over, and when they saw this situation, they immediately stood by Shimakatsu Takeshi's side. Seeing that there was really going to be a fight, the generals who came first hurried over and dismissed them.

"What are you guys doing here?!" Thinking it was time to get out of the way, I walked out from behind the tent. "Have you done what you were told? How do you chat here? "I deliberately didn't go to see Shibata Katsuya.

"Star Loyalty! You 'nouveau riche' has finally come out! "I ignore him, he ignores me," Shibata Katsuya stood up and said. How do you discipline your men? You're too arrogant! ”

"Isn't this the chief general of the family, the first fierce general, Lord Shibata Katsuie?" I deliberately smiled as if I had just seen him and said, "I haven't seen you for a few months, why have you changed a little?" (He does look a lot haggard) You've really worked hard! ”

"Humph!" He gave me an answer with a heavy nose.

My heart felt uncomfortable for a while, although the responsibility for this failure was not him, but after all, he couldn't avoid it, so what kind of "cow" is it! "Didn't you lead the elite of the lord as the vanguard this time? How ......" I deliberately exaggerated my gaze behind him. "You're coming back on your own? What about your troops? ”

Shibata Katsuie's face turned eggplant skin color in a blink of an eye. "I don't have time to talk nonsense with you, go find Changxiu! Will you be responsible for delaying the military aircraft? ”

"But I don't have the right to disturb Niwa-sama casually! At the same time, I didn't get an order to let you in! ”

"You!" Shibata Katsuie's eyes were bloodshot.

"Can I go in then?" A voice suddenly sounded behind me.

I looked back and saw Oda Nobunaga right behind me.

is still a famous horse "black cloud"; It is still a treasure knife "pressure cutting"; It's still the black lacquered carcass of Nanban, but the helmet is gone, the bun is a little scattered, a lock of hair hangs down, and there is some mud sticky on the face. "What about me? Can I go in? ”

"The subordinates don't dare, the lord please!"
